Loris Gréaud did wonders in Venice. To check, just go to the island of Murano before November 26 (a good hour in vaporetto). There, in the old Campiello della Pescheria glass factory, abandoned for 60 years and bought by an American, the French artist Loris Gréaud has once again reinvented the future in a poetic, perfectionist and technological way. We remember the young prodigy of Yvon Lambert and the Palais de Tokyo (Nicolas Bourriaud and Jérôme Sans era), who exhibited from April to June 2008 his titanic project Cellar Door. After five years of determination, thanks to the Parisian couple Jérôme and Emmanuelle de Noirmont, who dedicated themselves to the extraordinary adventures of art, and thanks to their patron, Laurent Dumas, who was delighted to have arrived on Mars, Loris Gréaud managed to camp his interstellar world in Murano.

In 1201, the Senate of Venice forced its glassmakers to settle on the island of Murano, in order to preserve the secret of glass manufacture. Since then, each of Murano's glass factories has jealously kept the recipe of its know-how. Loris Gréaud, under the direction of Nicolas Bourriaud, almost broke the rule and since the beginning of May has been proposing to magically revive the glassware of the Campiello della Pescheria, during the seven months of the opening of the 57th Venice Biennale. It is always in the secret, that of an artist between cosmonaut, engineer and DJ, that the old glassworks is for the occasion revived and invested by a brand new activity: a parallel production line which is said to hide a strange vitrification of sand from hourglasses, with the almost alchemical ambition to crystallize time...
